paulsilv on here knows a place that does them cheap.

what price do they go for? i have no clue!

whats the situ with the front shocks, from the manual they are rebuildable? ie you can change the fluid & the seals are probobly available from nissan?

or can i by inserts for them?

cheers muchly

i'm filthy after lowering the rear of my car today! :D bought some new pads for the front & rear too

i need new disks on the front & i cant find them either? can i use s13 4stud front disks?

i like my s12 more today

i'll giv tht place a go for the rears then!

i'm unsure on what to do on the fronts! can i fit shock inserts "the damper tube" or shall i just put fresh oil in & seals?

you can get kyb inserts for the front (kyb P.no 365013), although they seem to be hard to get these days.

for the rears, you can fit mk2 escort uprated rear shocks if the car is lowered for bout £110 pair on ebay, I think kennyboy from this forum has a set on his, if its not lowered then i prolly wouldnt use them as they are shorter and help with lowered loose springs only

on a side not, if kenny reads this, did the escort shocks make much difference to handling???

Cheers.

i have a full spare set of monroes if you want,they are gas rear and oil fronts.they have 7000miles on them and are as new.

irish s12 03-03-2009 22:52

front discs are hard to get,the last time i got them the only people who did them were ebc.I have seen discs advertised on ebay,but i dont know if they fit.s13 discs will not fit.
